I find political correctness to be harmful to mental health. When sensitivity goes up, the ability to cope with reality goes down. This can lead to tendency towards suicidal or insane activity, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, if you think about it "political correctness" is just a pejorative term used by the right wing to put down a practice of calling people what they want to be called.
So I really have a hard time understanding the need to wistfully remember when you could call American Indians "redskins," you could call Arabs "towel-heads," or even when you could call African Americans "niggers."
I call it basic respect.

There's a big difference between racial slurs and political correctness. I'm not going to call someone African American persay (in fact, if you were born here I consider you American, period, end of story), I will say black, and I do not use nigger. I don't call myself Caucassian, I say white, and I would not take kindly to being called a cracker. The first being the politically correct term, the second being an accepted, easier-to-use generalization, and the third being a racial slur. Big difference.
If your comment was tongue-in-cheek, then I apologize for firing back, but text is hard for me sometimes...

Well, that's bullshit.
When people try to keep a major sports team in the US named after a racial slur, they say they're opponents are being "politically correct."
Conversely, there's not a soul in the world telling you you can't describe anyone as "black" or "white"

And just because they say that, doesn't make them correct. Just ignorant.

I am not "physically challenged".
I just suck at exercising.

I am politically uncorrect! XD Besides, if anyone can call me a cracker and get away with it, why can't I call someone black? It's getting really annoying really quickly. *nod nod*

That's because America is now wobbling on hypocrisy. xP

I find Afro American ten times more offensive than the "N" word, because it ignores that arabs live in Africa too among other things...
And Latino and Hispanic is just code for "We don't think you are white, but we don't want to say that to your face!".... And oddly enough doesn't apply to Spaniards which is confusing and stupid...

Well, Hispanic means anyone who is vaguely Spanish and speaks Spanish. A Spaniard is a person of Spanish nationality.
Other than that, I agree with the whole negative connotation thing.
And I hate political correctness. Yay for this stamp! ^^

I just remember seeing Hispanic in a few online forms in the "Ethnic gruop" section (another P.C. word for race), and it pissed me off...

Yep. It's all about soft language.

And being too soft makes people think they are treated like babies...

Mhm. And you just can't coddle people forever.
